SSD Drive: WHich One?

[twobells]

Having shelled out for the TM A10 Hotas I'm now ready to invest in a SSD drive which drive do subscribers rate?

I am looking to balance performance with cost so considered the OCZ 180GB Vertex 2.

 

Thanks in advance

TowBells,

I have OCZ Vertex 2e's although they're both 60GB each not 180GB (one for Boot one for BS & A10C.

Cant recommend them enough.

The bigger the better, bigger SSD, non MLC, SLC for the win.

The bigger they are the more HUD they ll have, so the faster they will be to access info.

True, the bigger they are the faster they are. As a particular one I would suggest a VERTEX 2 by OCZ, like JaseGill already stated. My father has a 120gb one, and it's very fast and reliable.

Considering my budget constraints I purchased the 80GB Intel X-25M about a year ago. It has been big enough this far to contain all my installed programs, although 160GB would have been nicer, of course. Windows is installed so that "documents and settings" and any other user data is on another, traditional hard drive.

 

Loading times are excellent with the SSD compared to traditional hard drive.

Any sandforce based SDD will be fine. There are other propositions in both higher and lower ends, but they are not advisable.

I have a couple of Corsair P128 SSD's in raid for about a year. Very fast and reliable so far. Good price point and performance.

 

Never going back to a HDD again except for backup purposes.

Please guys. I need to know if these specs are good! It is only 100$ @ my brother-in-law shop.

Read and Write performance is little low (specially write). Sandforce drives are the safest bet as they can go to 285Mb/s Read, and 275Mb/s write. Some Other devices like the C300 can do better but they are also more expensive, or have particular system requirements (like the revodrive) that not all motherboards can provide.
